However once again, IF the story is reported accurately (Which I have no way of knowing until the flight crew is interviewed) I in absolutely no way condone that kind of treatment of passengers... Especially if your airline is just getting started on it's own label, bad publicity like this could kill an upstart like XJet.
Its funny, any time its a negative story its always "ExpressJet" but when its a positive story its "Continental". I got an idea. If Big CAL doesn't want us using the ExpressJet name around their passengers then how about they quit using our name in their press releases.

And if they were flying from Houston to Oklahoma City, they were on Continental Express.

This is the mom and baby on ABC news. Watch

If he acted anything like this on the plane he should have been kicked off. The media always blows things out of proportion.

I have a 2 1/2 year old and he would never act like that.
LMFAO. If you want to draw on public sympathy for something like that, DO NOT put the obnoxious kid on national TV!! Haha...

OMG! Everyone has a "disorder" these days. Yes, he has Mom can't control her pain in the a$$ child disorder. Are you one of those people that thinks a murderer should not be fried because he was abused as a child?

There is no way in he!! I would believe that ANY Flight Attendant would kick a mom and kid off for the kid "only" saying "bye bye plane". Yeaaaaaah riiiiiiight. I'd say he was doing a little more than saying "bye bye plane". GMAFB.
